KLS Salmakeri

KLS Salmakeri og Søm AS is an independent saddle-making and leatherwork business based in Sandefjord, Norway. Run by qualified saddler Katrine Lofgren Sagstuen, the company focuses on saddle fitting, with animal welfare, quality and honest advice at the heart of its work. Katrine fits most brands and models, including jumping, dressage, baroque and academic saddles, and is not tied to a particular brand. She travels to customers, serving Vestfold, Oslo, Viken and Trøndelag.

Alongside fitting, KLS repairs and restores leather and hide equipment, takes on projects of different sizes, and can create custom pieces. The business also offers saddle-related courses for riding clubs and stables, helping horse owners and riders learn to assess saddle fit. Katrine can assist customers buying new or second-hand saddles and is a dealer for Deuber & Partner, whose range includes modern saddles based on historical riding. Through its fitting, repair, restoration, education and purchasing support, KLS aims to help horses and riders find a comfortable, suitable saddle.
